Smarter energy: accelerating business use of indoor connected LED lighting

The world’s most influential companies hold the key to millions of dollars in untapped energy savings, The Climate Group said today (July 6, 2018), as the global not-for-profit launched a new call to action to the private sector to fast-track the uptake of connected LED lighting worldwide.

Representing up to a third of global energy demand, buildings are a key target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Installing LED lighting is the easiest, most immediate action a company can take to lower its carbon footprint and significantly reduce its energy costs.

According to Signify (formerly Philips Lighting), a world leader in connected LED lighting, a global switch to LEDs across the private sector could generate US$94 billion in cost savings while avoiding 403 million tons of CO2emissions. That’s equivalent to taking roughly 265 million cars off the road for a year.
